The paper is devoted to the assessment of potentialities of ultrasonic scanning of the thyroid during mass screening at an industrial enterprise. A total of 488 persons were investigated. Ultrasonic and thermographic investigations were performed in all of them to detect pathology of the cardiovascular system, abdominal cavity, breast and thyroid. Quantitative assessment of questionnaire data was performed in 100 persons. A group of persons aged 35 (7.5%) was selected for a further ultrasonic investigation. Among them 19 persons (54.3%) had diffuse enlargement, stage I-II, 13 (37.1%) had nodular changes, and 3 (8.6%) were after strumectomy. A special additional investigation was required for 13 persons, of them 9 had nodular types of the goiter, the rest of them were followed-up. 4 patients underwent surgical intervention. A conclusion was made of the effectiveness of the use of ultrasonic investigations during mass screening for the detection of early and latent pathological processes in the thyroid.
